Chapter 11 0011: The Lion Opens His Mouth
Hangzhou, Huafeng Media Headquarters Office Building.
"I didn't realize before that Director Jiang is so handsome."
"He has always been very handsome, right? He is about 1.8 meters tall, has a perfect figure, and handsome appearance. He is many times better than the young freshmen in the company before."
"Yes, so talented."
"And Lin Yu, his unique 'unremarkable handsomeness' is also very interesting."
"You're really not picky, but Lin Yu's songs "Those Flowers" and "Chasing Dreams" are really nice."
"Hey, do you think the company will have hope of rebirth under the management of Director Jiang?"
"It's hard to say, but I think we can stay and wait and see for a while."
"Yeah, I think so too."
…
The remaining employees of Huafeng Media have wavered in their thoughts of leaving, and their inherent impressions of Jiang Ge and Lin Yu have also changed.
"Jiang Dongzao!"
"morning."
…
Jiang Ge entered the company in the morning and found that something was different from when he first arrived.
The few employees were either dozing off or playing with their mobile phones, and were in no mood to go to work.
Now.
Everyone is energetic, their computers are turned on, and they are doing what they should do.
See this scene.
The mood is good after all.
Not long after Jiang Ge entered the office and sat down, Hu Xiao's coffee was delivered.
Hu Xiao put down the coffee, then handed over a folder and said, "Director Jiang, I have sorted out all the matters that have not been dealt with in the company so far."
"Let's leave it here first." Jiang Ge pointed to the desk and then asked: "Have you received any calls or emails in the past two days?"
Hu Xiao nodded and said: "Yes, QQ Music, Migu Music, NetEase Cloud Music, Kugou Music, and Xiami Music have all called and asked about selling the copyrights of the two songs "Those Flowers" and "Chasing Dreams" Whether or not, they all expressed their intention to purchase.”
Jiang Ge tapped his fingers on the desk and suddenly said with a smile: "Is Xiami Music here not dead?"
"Ah?" Hu Xiao was startled. Xiami Music and four other music platforms share 99% of the domestic music market share and hold a lot of music copyrights. How could it be "dead"?
Before Django traveled through time, Xiami Music on Earth had stopped operating. Instead of explaining, he asked, "Do they have an offer?"
Hu Xiaohui reported: "QQ Music is applying for exclusive online distribution rights, with a price of RMB 100,000 per song; NetEase Cloud Music is also applying for exclusive Internet distribution rights, with a price of RMB 120,000 per song; the other three companies are interested in purchasing the works. The right to broadcast on the Internet is 10,000 per year.”
When Jiang Ge heard this, he hummed and said, "Are they sending beggars?"
In his previous life, he liked to use NetEase Cloud Music and listen to Jay Chou's songs.
At that time, NetEase Cloud Music was in a heated legal battle with QQ Music over copyright issues. Someone calculated that QQ Music’s previous licensing price for NetEase Cloud Music’s Jay Chou songs had reached the level of 22,505 yuan/song per year. You must know , this is copyright distribution, QQ Music is equivalent to a second-tier dealer, and the exclusive online broadcast rights it has won must be higher than this price.
Blue Star has a relatively complete system for combating piracy and infringement, and people's awareness of payment is relatively strong, which protects the rights and interests of creators very well.
Take the two songs "Those Flowers" and "Chasing Dreams" that Lin Yu sang in the "I Am a Singer" finals. Without copyright, music platforms cannot put the related audios on the shelves. Video platforms except Mango TV Relevant videos longer than thirty seconds cannot be uploaded.
Therefore, the copyright fees for various works will only be higher than on earth.
Jiang Ge is fully aware of how popular the two songs "Those Flowers" and "Chasing Dreams" are on the earth. The quotations given by these music platforms are clearly taking advantage of the situation.
Hu Xiao secretly thought that Director Jiang was more tempered than the old chairman, and immediately asked: "Director Jiang, how should I reply to them?"
Jiang Ge thought for a while and said: "The exclusive online dissemination rights are worth 700,000 yuan per song per year; the information network dissemination rights of the work are included in the VIP music library, and we require 70% of the trial volume fee."
Under normal circumstances, songs by unknown singers or songs that are not popular can be released for free or for free, and they will get 50% of the paid share or 50% of the free GG traffic revenue share.
If you meet the signing requirements and enter the VIP music library, you will be given 50% of the trial volume.
For example, Lin Yu’s debut single was released for a fee by the company, priced at 1 yuan. As a result, the sales volume was only 788. After deducting 50% of the operating expenses, the platform received 394 yuan. We divided the money through a share-sharing contract, and finally got 118.2 yuan.
What a miserable old man.
Hu Xiao was very surprised. This was a treatment that could only be negotiated by a top-tier singer. If Lin Yu, a new singer, asked for such treatment, would other music platforms agree?
But she has the awareness to be a good subordinate and knows what to ask and what not to ask.
Whether Django is a lion with his mouth open depends on the quality of the song. What the system wants to give is He. If he quoted such a price to other music platforms, it would be a lion with his mouth open, and his mouth would be so wide that it would burst.
"By the way, go and ask them if anyone knows how to do operations? If so, come to me." Jiang Ge thought for a moment, what else is he lacking besides operations, and then said: "There are also agents, If you don’t know how to be an artist assistant, just send me a job recruitment post GG.”
"Okay, Director Jiang." Hu Xiao got the order and went out to work.
Jiang Ge took two sips of coffee, picked up the folder and read it.
[Company to-do items:
1. Yogurt GG song by Mengli Company, 15 days remaining.
2. The theme song and ending song of the anime "Guardian of Light", 66 days left.
3. The script of the TV series "Jiang Hu" has been delivered and filming has started, with 188 days remaining.
...]
After Jiang Ge read it, he started to make notes and divided all the pending events into urgent, expedited and urgent items, and then set a to-do reminder on his mobile phone.
After doing this, start processing the urgent item [Mongli Company's Yogurt GG Song].
Jiang Ge entered the system mall and searched in the [Music Area].

QQ Music.
"Exclusive online dissemination rights, 700,000 a year for a song? Then, the information network dissemination rights of the work, into the VIP music library, require 70% of the trial volume?" The operation manager saw this quotation and smiled: "They I really dare to ask for it, and I don’t even know what my situation is now.”
The employee asked: "Boss, should you continue to bargain with them, or should you just refuse?"
The manager stroked his chin and thought for a while, then asked without answering: "What's the news about the other four companies?"
The employee replied: "I don't know yet, but I think they won't agree to such a high price."
The manager said: "That's not necessarily the case. NetEase Cloud Music has been fighting for copyrights with us for a year. We have lost more and won less. We cannot rule out that they will pay huge copyright costs and sign a large number of popular songs."
The employee tentatively asked, "How about we pay the same price?"
The manager nodded and said: "In this way, the exclusive online dissemination rights will be worth 300,000 yuan a year for one song; the information network dissemination rights of the work will be included in the VIP music library, and 60% of the trial volume will be paid."
The employee heard this and asked, "Is it too much?"
The manager smiled and said: "I think that's the bottom line for NetEase Cloud Music. It doesn't matter how much money the two songs "Those Flowers" and "Chasing Dreams" can make. What's important is that you can't Let competitors get it.”
